12.American English has its own idioms.Let's say you buy something in a shop.And(61)when/after you pay for it,you say:This cost (62)me an arm and a leg!What do you really mean by (63)saying(say) so?Do you have to give them your arm and your leg?I hope not.Let's listen to an American English conversation (64)to see/and see(see) if we can find out what this means.
A:Did you buy that new computer?
B:Yeah,I did.But I (65)shouldn't/oughtn't to have bought i
A:Why do you say so?Is there anything wrong with it?
B:Not exactly,but,as a matter of fact,it cost the way more than I (66)expected/had expected(expect) it to be.
A:(67)How muchdid it cost?
B:Let me just tell you it cost an arm and a leg!
When you say in American English that something costs an arm and a leg,it actually means that (68)the/its price is very,very high,much (69)higher(high) than we can accept.If you use this (70)phrase/idiom/expressionin the United States,everyone there will understand you.But this is an informal phrase,so don't use it in a formal business setting.

分析 本文介紹了美國(guó)英語(yǔ)中的一個(gè)習(xí)語(yǔ).通過(guò)一段對(duì)話告訴了我們"it cost me an arm and a leg"這個(gè)英語(yǔ)習(xí)語(yǔ)的用法.

解答 61.when/after 考查連詞.此處表示為所買(mǎi)的東西付款時(shí)或付完款后會(huì)說(shuō)這個(gè)習(xí)語(yǔ),所以是when或after引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句,故填when/after.
62.me 考查人稱代詞的賓格.cost后接雙賓語(yǔ),構(gòu)成cost sb.sth.,應(yīng)填入人稱代詞的賓格,結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知填me.
63.saying 考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞.by為介詞,因此其后的動(dòng)詞應(yīng)使用動(dòng)詞-ing形式,故填saying.
64.tosee/and see  考查動(dòng)詞不定式/并列連詞.句意:讓我們聽(tīng)一段美國(guó)人的對(duì)話來(lái)看看我們能否找到它的真正意思.第一用不定式to see作狀語(yǔ)表示目的;第二用并列連詞and連接listen to和see兩個(gè)并列動(dòng)作.故填to see/and see.
65.shouldn't/oughtn'tto 考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞.根據(jù)"But"提示可知,此處表示"買(mǎi)了,但本不應(yīng)該買(mǎi)".shouldn't/oughtn't to have done表示"本不應(yīng)該做而實(shí)際上做了".
66.expected/hadexpected 考查時(shí)態(tài).此處cost為過(guò)去式,表示花的錢(qián)比原來(lái)預(yù)計(jì)的要多,因此可使用過(guò)去時(shí),如果強(qiáng)調(diào)"過(guò)去的過(guò)去",也可以使用過(guò)去完成時(shí).
67.Howmuch 考查疑問(wèn)詞.此處是問(wèn)付了多少錢(qián),因此填入How much.
68.the/its考查冠詞/代詞.這句話的意思是某物花了一大筆錢(qián).the price特指你購(gòu)買(mǎi)商品的價(jià)格,its price意為"它的價(jià)格",所以用定冠詞the或代詞its都可以,故填the/its.
69.higher 考查形容詞的比較級(jí).根據(jù)than和修飾比較級(jí)的程度副詞much可知,此處使用high的比較級(jí)higher.句意:價(jià)格要比我們能接受的價(jià)格高出很多很多.
70.phrase/idiom/expression考查名詞.根據(jù)文章的第一句及最后一句可知,可填入idiom或phrase,因?yàn)閑xpression表示"詞組",因此也可以將其填入. 如果你在美國(guó)使用這個(gè)短語(yǔ)/這個(gè)表達(dá)方式.此處指的是it cost me an arm and a leg這個(gè)短語(yǔ).

點(diǎn)評(píng) 語(yǔ)法填空是通過(guò)語(yǔ)篇在語(yǔ)境中考查語(yǔ)法知識(shí)的運(yùn)用能力,在解題前應(yīng)快速瀏覽短文掌握大意,在讀懂短文的基礎(chǔ)上,結(jié)合短文提供的特定的語(yǔ)言環(huán)境去逐句分析,逐題解答.扎實(shí)的語(yǔ)法功底加上準(zhǔn)確的理解是解答語(yǔ)法填空題的關(guān)鍵.
